This section shows the number of job openings advertised online for the occupation and area you selected. The table below also lists the related occupational group for your selected occupation.

You can sort the data by clicking one of the column headers.

Click any of the links in the Job Openings column to view the job postings for the occupation in that row.

Occupations displaying the yellow Bright Outlook icon indicate occupations that are expected to: grow rapidly in the next several years; have large numbers of job openings; or, are new and emerging occupations. A green leaf icon identifies occupations that are Green occupations, which are generally found in those industries involved in energy or environmental efficiency and renewal.

Controls - Use the icons at the top right to control the display for this section. A dark background indicates that an icon is 'on'. To turn off the control, simply click again and the icon background returns to white. These controls allow you to display the data in table, graph, map, and narrative formats, and more than one can be selected.

Note: The display control buttons, described above, appear depending on the data category (distribution categories display more options), and whether you are viewing data for a single industry, or are comparing multiple industries.

Tables, graphs and maps can be exported or printed, using the icons on the bottom right. To export, click on the download icon, and choose from the following selections: Excel, Word, or PDF for tables; JPEG, PNG, SVG, or PDF for graphs and maps; or, print by selecting the Print icon.

Jobs De-Duplication - Clicking the number link opens a popup window that allows you to determine how strictly the system filters out duplicate jobs from any sections using advertised job data.

• Level 1, the default setting, has a less intensive process for filtering out duplicate jobs and will return more jobs in the data. This level includes in its dataset job postings imported from websites that have met the standards for inclusion on this system. These standards include the requirement that the site post original, non-duplicated content, refrain from cross-posting jobs, adhere to acceptable time frames for posted jobs, etc.
• Level 2 will search through a greater number of data fields in looking for duplicate information, thereby removing more jobs from the statistical pool. This level contains stricter requirements when searching for duplicated job content, requiring a job to have a unique combination of the following elements within a given time frame:
  • Employer Name, Job Title, Location, Salary, Education requirement, Experience requirement, O*NET code, NAICS code, and the first 200 characters of the Job Description
